Interview with Sasha — Full-time working mother and model
Sasha is a 24-year old model residing in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
Hi, my name is Sasha Williams. I was born in Hollywood, Florida. I am married with a son. Love my family to death. I am a volleyball player and I am studying to become a Psychologist.
When, how and why did you first get involved in the modeling industry?
I started while living in Pembroke Pines, Florida in 2009. My friend Von Clinton is an amazing photographer who took my first professional photos. I like being the center of attention for a little while so runways always make me happy.
What are your personal and professional goals? Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?
I will have my Doctorate’s degree in psychology and hopefully be modeling at least part time, if not full time.
How often are you modeling and what does it usually consist of?
Right now I have not being modeling as much as I want. I just moved to the San Antonio area so I need to get acclaimed to the area first. But once I get settled I will start doing photo shoots more often.
Please tell us about the best and/or worst experiences you’ve had so far in modeling.
The best experience I have had was doing a runway show for a Caribbean company in Fort Lauderdale. I met so many beautiful models and the atmosphere was great. We didn’t know each other but it was amazing. No matter what I’m wearing on stage I feel amazing with all eyes on me.
Have you had anything funny, embarrassing or completely out of the ordinary happen during your modeling career?
I’m so lucky that I have not. Don’t wanna jinx myself though.
Is there anything you would change about the modeling industry if you could?
Yes I would. If I could change anything it would be that there are more plus size models. Big women are beautiful and they should be showing the world their confidence in a bikini photo shoot. This would help empower bigger females and let them know they are beautiful.
Do you practice any sports and what do you typically eat? Please elaborate on the importance of nutrition and exercise in your life.
I practice volleyball and soccer. I eat anything and everything. I love candy, fruits and vegetables. I also love Chinese food.
Please share something people don’t know about you.
I have been in hype hair magazine a couple times. Not a feature but one day I will get there.
Would you change anything about yourself?
I would not change anything about my body. I love me the way I am. Now if God made me with a little more boobs I would not complain…
What is the longest you have gone without taking a bath?
About 3 days. It was a bet between me and my friends.
